1) Someone, an amateur, probably got their nose out of joint out of some frustration.2)MPAA attack method.3) Bad advertiser, junk code or someone deliberately doing an attack of some kind.

Is all I can think of, though Abe and Russ don't like it, I take my own security seriously by using both Adblock Plus and NoScript, writing text lines within the firewall to limit damage and keep AVG and Malwarebytes updated.

We are pretty sure it was a malvertisment that slipped thru in one of the many pockets that are out there. Abe flushed them and it cleared it. So all is well now. The Ad brokers are hell on these now because just one can sink them.

Got it - thanks! Been using TinyWall for quite awhile now. Useful little program. Reminds me of ZoneAlarm when it first came out (not the way ZoneAlarm is now): Small footprint, straightforward UI, and it just works.
